Men and women eating in the courtyard

He put on a police uniform, suede boots, and a military coat.

On her legs she wore the rabbit fur leggings that my grandma wore when driving a carriage.

He turned his cotton hat upside down and tied the straps, and went out wearing a white cotton mask and Lao Biaozi's sunglasses.

The eldest brother Xuewen had already piled two bags of cornmeal, one bag of white flour, and a bag of rice brought back by Li Xuewu into the bed.

This bag is not even big, and my eldest grandma even covered it with felt cloth.

Needless to say, the carrying capacity of this bag is really high. Each of the four bags weighs more than 50 kilograms, and there is also a barrel of gasoline and a jar of wine.

Li Xuewu put his military coat on inside out, put the cuffs into the handlebars, and tightened them with ropes, thus making a windproof quilt.

I got on the motorcycle and pedaled, asking my eldest brother to come up.

It was the first time that Li Xuewen rode a motorcycle, and he was a little timid. With the help of his grandma, he put on his military coat and carried it on the cowhide saddle. He put his hands into Li Xuewu's pockets and hugged his waist.

The eldest grandma turned the eldest brother Xuewen's hat upside down and pushed it down. Although it was invisible, the wind could not get in.

Li Xuewu turned the accelerator, and the motorcycle slowly left the gate and headed towards the street. It went faster on the street.

"Learn martial arts, ride slowly"

"Li Xuewu, please slow down."

"Second brother."

No matter what the eldest brother is yelling at him from behind, Li Xuewu's speed is not slow. Putting aside his chronic personality, it is better for the motorcycle to be slower than the bicycle. His feelings are not cold in the back. If he rides this for a day, he will He would freeze to death on his motorcycle.

Besides, when had I ever heard what my elder brother said? If he should yell from behind, he should yell. Anyway, the more he yells, the faster he goes.

Li Xuewu has a way of dealing with his elder brother.

There were no vehicles on the street at this time, so I tightened the accelerator and walked quickly along the street towards the outskirts of the city.

The road at this time was normal, with some bumps. Fortunately, Li Xuewu rode for half an afternoon yesterday and became familiar with the rhythm. It didn't feel difficult to ride now.

Especially with the wind-proof quilt, except for a bit of cold face, the rest of the place is not too cold.

Because Li Xuewen couldn't see, he could only sit in the back seat, holding Li Xuewu's clothes nervously, afraid of throwing him off.

After riding for more than an hour, we entered the mountainous area and the road was a little difficult.

The eldest brother also pushed up his hat and showed his eyes to show Li Xuewu the way.

After stumbling for more than half an hour, we finally entered the village.

It was the twelfth lunar month of winter, and no one was walking around in the village. Only a few children running around with runny noses discovered Li Xuewu's motorcycle and ran out to see it.

Li Xuewu didn't dare to ride fast after entering the village. The roads in the village were even more difficult to walk. There were many bumps and bumps. He was really afraid of overturning his bike.

Followed by a group of children, the eldest brother pointed to a small courtyard with low walls, an earthen house, and leaned against the hillside: "That's it."

After confirming the target, Li Xuewu speeded up slightly and drove directly into the small courtyard with the wooden door open.

It is said to be a wooden door, but it is just a simple door made of four wooden poles and tied with tree strips.

The courtyard wall was even lower and Li Xuewu felt like he could even lift his legs to step over it.

I saw a police inspector riding a police motorcycle into the courtyard, and an old farmer wearing a torn sheepskin coat went out. He stood in the courtyard and looked at Li Xuewu who got off the car with some fright.

Seeing Li Xuewen take off his hat and get out of the car, he realized that his uncle was here.

Li Xuewu parked the car, took out the key, and got out of the car.

When I saw someone standing in the courtyard, I quickly took off my sunglasses and masks.

At this moment, the old man saw his uncle getting out of the car and walking towards the car. He also saw that the policeman on the bicycle looked similar to his uncle. He had naturally seen the third son of the Li family. This must be the Li family that the girl and uncle mentioned last time. The second boy.

Every time my uncle came by bus and walked a little further. Last time he came by car and brought pork, and this time he came in a police car. It seemed that he took advantage of his second brother's favor. .

"Xue Wen is here. This is martial arts. Look, the child is freezing. Come inside and warm yourself up."

At this time, Li Xuewu looked like Santa Claus, with a layer of white frost hanging on his eyebrows, and the breath coming out of his mouth froze on his eyebrows.

Seeing his father-in-law greeting the two of him, Li Xuewen quickly pulled his second brother.

The eldest brother Xuewen responded: "Dad, it's my second brother Xuewu. He has a day off today, so he helped me deliver the food. Xuewu, this is your sister-in-law's father. I'll call you uncle."

Li Xuewu knew from his mother that his sister-in-law's father was called Zhao Gen, who was one year younger than Li Shun, so he shouted: "Hello, uncle"

"Okay, come in quickly"

After saying that, he asked the boss, second and third, who had just come out to greet the two of them, to unload the truck.

"Go help your brother-in-law unload the car, and let your brother-in-law and your second brother come in and rest."

I saw three young men in plain clothes walking towards the car.

Li Xuewu pointed to the gasoline barrel in the party, smiled and said to the timid three people: "Unload this wine jar, there is no need to remove this one, this is gasoline."

Li Xuewu took out a cigarette from his pocket and offered one to Zhao Gen.

"Uncle, you smoke"

"No, no, I have some here. I smoke dry tobacco."

"Just smoke this one."

Zhao Gen then took the cigarette with a smile, covered it with his hands and let Li Xuewu light the cigarette.

Li Xuewu lit a match and lit it for himself again, and then entered the earthen house at Zhao Gen's warm invitation.

The house was a three-room earthen house with adobe bricks on the front. It looked fairly neat, but the house was a little low. Li Xuewu's head was a little bit high when he passed the door frame, and he lowered his head slightly before entering the house.

There was the kitchen in the middle, and bedrooms on both sides. Zhao Gen led him to the east room. The room was a little dark because the windows were small and covered with plastic sheets, so they didn't let much light through.

Leng Buding came in and his eyes were a little black. Zhao Gen lit the kerosene lamp and then he could clearly see the people in the room.

Zhao Gen put the kerosene lamp on the kang table, pointed at Li Xuewu with a smile and said to the two old men at the head of the kang: "Father, mother, this is Xuewen's second brother Xuewu, who just rode a motorcycle to send Xuewu to school. Came here"

Although the old man on the kang looked thin, he was very energetic and waved to the two brothers to get on the kang to warm themselves up.

Zhao Gen pointed at the two old men and said: "To learn martial arts, you can just call me master or grandma."

Li Xuewu took out two cigarettes and saluted them, saying, "Master, grandma, you are in good health. You smoke."

When the old man saw Zhao Gen holding a cigarette, he took it and asked Li Xuewu to help him light it.

Li Xuewu saw that the old lady had a cigarette pot and pot at hand, so he offered a cigarette in front of her, but the old lady said she was not used to smoking and returned the cigarette to the cigarette case.

Daqianmen was not an expensive cigarette, but it only cost 36 cents a pack, which was considered a high-end cigarette in rural areas. The old man took a sip of it with great taste and pulled Li Xuewu and Li Xuewen to get on the kang.
